THE CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE. 
1878. 
Reasons why it should circulate largely in Christian 
Families: 
I. It is a religious paper, it has convictions, and dares to stale them. It has a creed, just as every 
lionesl mau has a skeieton. It has a depth of experience and breadth of charity to cover its creed. 
2. It presents the great interests of reform without fear or favor, it is devoted 
to the cause of Missions, Church Extension, Freedmen, and Sunday-Schools. It also contends for the 
sanctity of the Sabbath, the inviolability of onr Common Schools, the retention of the Bible in our Com- 
mon Scliools, public and private integ;rity. and temperance, with distinguished ability and cleaniess. 
3. Its Editorials are widely read, and frequently quoted. They strike the ereat ques- 
tions tliat airitate the public mind, and by a bold, independent, prompt, and matured policy, hold the very 
first rank in molding public opinion. 
4. Its literary work is of a high order, its Bookl^oticcs, epitomizing and criticising, are un- 
surpassed. 
5. Its Contributed Articles are the product of the best minds. The first page of any number is worih 
more than the subscription price for a year. 
6. Its Church News is abundant from all parts of the world. 
7- Its General News, n^"' equal to that of any of the religious weeklies, with more space next year, will 
supersede the need of any other weekly newspaper. 
8. Its Sunday-School Helps are extensively quoted in other papers. 
9- Its Science and Art Department, for which arran,?eraents have been made, will not be sar- 
passed by any other weekly. 
I O, Its Educational Department is as rich as the edncatioual interests of the country. 
I 1. Its Health Department ranks well, even among medical journals. 
NEW DEPARTURES. 
1. Rev. Joseph Cook's Popular Boston Monday Lectures, (thirtyin all,) win be pub- 
lished under copyright, in full, with the author's corrections. It is a grand treat to see Cook handle the 
scientists. Each lecture is worth more than the cost of a year's subscription. 
2. An Agricultural Department. Asa substitute for this Department in the paper, we have made a 
special arrangement with the ORANGE JUDD COMPANY, by which we can offer The American 
Agriculturist, acknowledged to bo the best agricultural and horticultural publication in the world 
on easy terms in connection with Tlie CJiri?(ian Advocate, Any subscriber, who wishes both the Advocate 
and the American AgHcidturist can have both of them from the reception of their subscription till the end 
o/"187S, for $3.75, which furnishes the Amencan. Ag7'icxiltiirist to aU desiring it for less money than is re- 
quired to secure it in any other way. This Journal, illustrated with from 600 to 700 original engravings 
in each volume, and full of practical suggestions, interesting 1o Farmers,, Gardeners, Fi^it- Growers^ 
Stock- Saisers. Oicners of Small Piots, or Lots in Countrt/,, VHiage, and C/^y, will give to our readers much 
valuable information to be fonnd nowhere else. 
3. The Leader and his Class. A Department that will consist chiefly of original contributions. 
4. The Children's Club. Something for each one. 
5. Eclectic Literature. Selections from the Foreign and Home Magazines in each number will enable 
TliC Christian Advocate to do the work of an Eclectic Magazine. ^ 
PREMIUMS. 
L An elegant steel engraving, on paper 21x2954 inches, painted by that eminent artist, S. J. Gny, N. A., and en- 
graved by A. H. Ritchie, N. A., the prince of steel engravers, will be given to every subscriber, old and new. It is a 
companion-piece to '" Mercy at the Wicket Gate," and is pronounced by the best of judges superior to any premium 
heretofore offered by any paper to individual subscribers. No publisher of an equally large, good, and oriirinal steel 
engraving could afford to pnt it on the market, in the ordinary way, at a retail price of less than Five Dollars. We 
can give to each Advocate subscriber an origincl engraving of such size, artistic beauty, and permanent value, only 
because the greatest iiem of expense, the original cost of the steel-plate, is divided iaXo over Jifty-three thousand yartB^ 
bringing the actual cost to us of the premium to each subscriber within onr reach. 
II. 1. We will give to every agent who shall have increased within his charge the list of subscribers for 1878 over 
the list within that charge fur 18T7, by three, at full price, $2.70 each, including postage,* or who shall have secured 
three such subscribers within a charge where we have none for 1877. Phillips Brooks'' Ta/e Lectures on Preaching, re- 
cently published by Dntton & Co., and also Lectures delivered nt Yale College last month by Rev. Dr. Dale, of Bir- 
mingham, England, just announced by A. S. Barnes & Co. Retail price of the two volumes. $.3.

iionai'y, new edition. Publishers' retail price, $12.

The Dicticnaiy and other premium books will be delivered at 805 Broadway, N. Y., to agents entitled to receive 
them, at any time on the payments of the amounts of their subscription list. 
Sample copies of The Christian Advocate, to aid in canvassing, will be furnished without charge ; alsoa copy of the 
Ameiican AgiicuUuiists to agents who will canvass for it in connection with Tlie Chiistian Advocate. Price, post- 
paid. The Christian Advocate, $2.70. The Christian Advocate and American Agricidturist together, post-paid, $3.75. 
To all nnr agents we say. Secure the Dictionary, and as many as possible of the other premium books. If yon don't 
want them for yourselves or your children, j'ou can readily dispose of them. 
* For example, if the list was twentv snbBCribere for 1S7T, It mustbe twentv-tbree enbscribers for 1878. We give thlg 
Illnstration because some have wrongly understood ua to mate our ofler for three new subscribers In a charge where we 
have subscribers for 1ST7.
